  • @bondie45 Wikipedia is wrong.McPeake copyrighted an ARRANGEMENT of the song, and his family has since claimed that he "wrote" it.How can he have written it in the 1950s when there are published records of very similar lyrics going back to 1910, and before that a strong link to the Scottish song "Braes of Balquhidder". It's VERY common for more contemporary singers to do an arrangement of an older or traditional song and then claim copyright on it...vis Paul Simon with Scarborough Fair.

  • @robnaylor 55, sorry mate i still beg to differ, according to wikipeda the song was written by william Mcpeake, who was a native of belfast, thanks anyway for your impact

  • @bondie45 @bondie45 . No, mate, Wils is right. The lyrics were written by an ENGLISHMAN, Frederick Weatherly, in 1910. The tune dates well before that and was PROBABLY Scottish in origin, though it was collected in Ireland in the 1850s from Blind Jimmy McCurry, whose family was from Islay in Scotland.

    There are DOZENS of songs that are popularly thought to be Irish but are in fact English or Scottish in origin: Black Velvet Band, Wild Rover, Fiddlers Green, Dirty Old Town to name just a few.

  • NO wils they are right it was written by a irish man for gods sake

  • Wish you were Scots.
